SOURCE: pontiac torrent headlight burnt out? Can I replace it myself?

yes you can replace it. the bulb is removed from inside the engine compartment. if the burnt out bulb is on the battery side you will likely have to take the battery out. the socket generally turns about a quarter turn or so... have a look to see if there is a large ring that you turn and remove first.
One important detail do NOT touch the bulb with your fingers as it shortens the bulbs lifespan.

SOURCE: mazda cx-7 2008 left headlight stopped working,

check the wiring from the headlight. You want to find the ground wire which is usually a black wire thats secured to some metal part of the car. Basically just check that all your wires are in tact and tightly secured. A bad ground is a very common electrical problem.

SOURCE: My 2004 dodge ram 1500

This happened to mine people told me could be anything from plug, switch to fcm, turns out what it was was poor connections at fcm(front control module). Easy fix, remove fcm and headlight wire plug to fcm, clean contacts with nail file, reinstall. Worked for me, hope it helps.

Replaced the head lamp bulb but only works on high beam

Make sure the other filament is good and that it is receiving power. If no power check relays, fuses, switches,etc for low beams.

Left headlight replaced but still not working, swapped with right bulb so bulb is good

If you checked for power inside the socket(power and ground) the bend the tabs in the socket to touch the bulb wires. They get hot and bend. pull them out a bit.

How do you fix a 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA front head light?

The halogen headlight is basically a bulb that is replaced from behind the headlight assembly inside the hood. Hyundai has a cover that keeps moisture and debris out. To remove it, simply twist the cover counter clockwise. Once removed, you should be a locking "bracket" that will resemble a small wire handle. This locks the bulb into place. The handle can be released by "squeezing" it together (on some models, the handle is kept in place by a notch) and pulling up. Once released, you will be able to remove the plug and old halogen bulb.
Once the bulb is replaced, reverse the instructions to re-assemble. Best of luck and thank you for using Fixya! Greg

How to change the headlight bulb 2008 yukon

Open the hood, above each headlight is 2 rods, unlatch the rods and lift striaght up, the headlight will now lift out and you can replace the bulb, It turns about 1/3 of a turn left to unlatch the bulb. After the bulb is replaced, set headlight back in place and push the rods back down, you may need to wiggle the light housing to align the holes so the rods seat all the way down.
